BARIER SUN SCREEN GEL

The mechanism of action of SPF Gel revolves around its ability to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. When applied to the skin, the active ingredients in the gel form a protective barrier on the skin's surface. These active ingredients typically include organic compounds such as avobenzone, oxybenzone, or inorganic minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Organic UV filters work by absorbing UV rays, converting them into less harmful forms of energy, and preventing them from penetrating the skin. On the other hand, inorganic UV blockers physically reflect and scatter UV radiation away from the skin, acting as a protective shield. The gel's formulation ensures that these active ingredients are evenly distributed and provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, thereby reducing the risk of sunburn, premature aging, and potential skin damage caused by prolonged sun exposure.

In the case of a missed dose of SPF Gel, it is important to apply the gel as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra gel to make up for the missed dose, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. If you frequently miss doses, consider setting reminders or alarms to ensure you stay on track with your skincare routine.
